If someone starts a revolution I'd join the fight. "And just because he's a worker, no class can free him but his own. The emancipation of the working class is the task of the worker alone."
Isn't that part of the problem? Everyone is waiting for the revolution to start. Everyone is waiting for the next Luigi. Everyone is waiting.
Nothing's getting better, but someone will come and fix all these problems any time now and I'll be on their side!
Are you volunteering? 😅
That's the thing, though. As long as most people can comfortably skate by, that's exactly what they'll do. But, push come to shove, should things get bad enough, that's when revolt happens.
No, I'm not volunteering because I don't think either thing will work. But the people calling for those things to happen are waiting for someone else to do it.
Also, how are things not bad enough right now? They're sending people to Gitmo. Trump and Musk fired people who are responsible for safeguarding our nuclear weapons because they didn't know what they did. People didn't even notice despite it being all over the news. Or at least they didn't notice enough to pick up their torches and pitchforks.
And that's just the latest horrific thing he's done in the past three weeks.
So what's it going to take?
~2 days without food, for most people, I assume
Starving people don't have much energy to violently revolt.
Tell that to the french
Why on Earth do you think the French Revolution happened because of a famine?
Only takes eating one rich person to get them back up though.
It's going to take a direct impact on peoples' lives. If the average person can continue to go to work, get a paycheck, and overpay for but afford groceries for their family, that's what they're going to do.
And if that never happens? If things get really bad but not that bad for Americans?
Still sounds like waiting for someone else to do it.
You're not wrong.
What are you talking about? Luigi isn't a leader. He's just a guy who snapped.
Remember when I said he was a leader? Because I don't.
